What's the collective noun for Beefeaters? A "butchery" of Beefeaters, perhaps.
This is the spot were several of the Tower executions took place, including a significant one whose name is at the bottom.
Changing of the Guard outside the Crown Jewels
In the Tower gift shop, a doll with local relevance.
The White Tower at the Tower of London

We thoroughly enjoyed the Tower of London too...however, we were disappointed when the Beefeater who was our guide, decided to cease the tour because it started to sprinkle rain!!!! We had to question if we were really in England amongst Londoners???
